Authentic Big Easy Red Beans and Rice image

Quick, Simple, and filled with real Cajun flavor as if you're eating in New Orleans, Louisiana. While simmering, taste for flavor - add a little more Cajun seasoning if needed. I've combined green, orange, and red bell peppers before and it was delicious. Note: 2 tablespoons minced garlic, not 2 cloves

This recipe was a bit too bland for me. The ingredients were not very exciting and the flavors were not very strong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who is not a bland-loving cook.
